No not that one.  That one does NOT have a RAID controller and instead
it presents you with 8 seperate disks and then your OS has to do all
the setup and maintainance of raid.  Huge hassle.  Also means all the
extra reads/writes for parity data has to go over the connection too,
making it much slower.

You want the H8R2 model not the H82.
